Figure I cover most of that through the season preview pieces...

The entire defense was watching Salah and forgot where AM was, lol. (And he hadn't even moved.)

Yeah, having a simple regression line is the default setting for these charts on TruMedia.

One of my favorite SBN memories is watching the "AguerrrOOOOOOHHHHH" match and conceiving of a weeklong CFB relegation series with you and Jason in like the 15 minutes after the match ended.

Hell yeah. One of my favorite pics I’ve taken: Union’s mascot damn near joining the dogpile after a game-winning goal like he had the assist or something.

I guess that makes sense since you were in my first freshman class, huh…

Got my first email address when I was a freshman in college and had to visit the computer lab to check it. Honestly that’s about how it should’ve been.

Certainly.

I love stumbling across the stats from that season and remembering that, despite having Rodgers and Marshawn, that offense was totally JJ Arrington's show.

One of my goals for the coming months is to try to extricate incoming from returning and see how I should handle the weighting moving forward. That is ... a very intimidating prospect.

(No idea why UVA and NC State showed up as Indies there. Will fix that before entry into the Giant SP+ Google Sheet.)

Hmm. Not sure what happened there.

And you noticed Maryland in the ACC before you noticed USC being No. 1? :)

I was at the Louisville-BSU Liberty Bowl. That offense was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen.

Other quick observations:
* OU was No. 1 heading into the postseason. (Sorry, Auburn.) Title game flipped things MASSIVELY.
* Cal ranked ahead of Texas pre-bowls, too. Reeeeeeaallly got screwed out of a major bowl.
* THE WAC HAD THE NO. 1 OFFENSIVE AVERAGE. I LOVE THAT SO MUCH.

Have you delved into the Mule family yet? (Moscow, etc.) Not a big mixed drink drinker, but Mules make me happy.

And then Bodø/Glimt put it away with the third own goal of the match. 🤌

Juve suddenly being watchable and delightful is breaking my brain a bit.
